FFmpeg is now used as the default for processing network cameras since
it is more flexible and has greater support for all of the possible
cameras and protocols in the world.? Users can specify any FFmpeg
parameters via the netcam_params
Some relevant ffmpeg options for this situation could be:
reconnect_on_network_error = 1
reconnect_at_eof=1
reconnect=1
multiple_requests=1
reconnect_streamed=1
Specify them like
netcam_params
reconnect_on_network_error=1,reconnect_at_eof=1,reconnect=1,multiple_requests=1,reconnect_streamed=1
I'd note that these options became the default for http cameras in
version 4.5.0.? So if any of them are not desired in that version the
user must turn them off by specifying 0 instead of 1. Version 4.5.0 also
suppresses some of the excess messages that may be produced from
reconnecting using the options.
These and other camera options are included in the FFmpeg protocols
documentation page.
?To avoid using FFmpeg and instead use the legacy tcp methods, specify
the camera url prefix as mjpeg instead of http.
